Hey Ho
I am trying to do some research on the progress and plans of uttoxeter canal. I have read that there may be plans to extend uttoxeter canal all the way to burton, longer than the origional route. If anyone has any information they can pass on, i would be very grateful. Send to jonny2gamble@hotmail.com
